I'm correcting you. :)

scf_*_add_pg() calls take a SCF_PG_FLAG_NONPERSISTENT flag.

Nonpersistent property groups are removed during reboot.  (They're
actually stored in a tmpfs filesystem, so no active removal is
necessary.  But, that's an implementation detail.)

We use them extensively in implementation of SMF's status and
internal communication.
